here's the headlines from today in "the washington post." look at that, health insurance plans a $1.1 billion in rebates. you mean, i get a check? who is getting the money? you are. you know, look, the health care law, if it had not been here, this wouldn't have happened. you wouldn't get a check. here's why. the law forces insurers to spend at least 80% of the premiums you pay on actual health care. the other 20% is for administrative costs and profits. if insurers didn't hit that 80% mark, then they are required to send you, your employer a rebate to make up the difference thanks to obama care f. your employer gets the check, then your employer is required to pass that rebate on to you or lower your premium. that would be a good deal. a cording to the obama administration, how many? 12.8 million americans are expected on to get rebates this year. the check's in the mail. with an average value of $151 per household. when you get a check in the mail, do you think that's a good thing? it's a real good thing. that money's going to go along way
